It was my step-mom's car. It was the car I learned how to drive in. It was a turbocharged 5-speed manual. It was surprisingly quick. I used to surprise Mustangs and Camaros at the light. Especially when they didn't realize we were racing.

but apparently only the key can be replaced. It sounded weird, but the guy that told me this is also the guy that said just put the dead key in a drawer and don't replace one until they both die. So it's not like he was trying to gouge me. He didn't even charge me a dime.

My wife's car wouldn't start one day. Interior lights worked fine, but when turing the key? Nothing. I tried knocking the starter to no avail. We get it towed to the mechanic and it turns out the internal battery on the key had died. Nothing wrong with the car, but the key was $225 to replace. I gave her my spare and walked out down nothing but a couple hours.
